““The next morning it is still snowing, which makes me feel gloomy. People describe snow as soft and light and airy. Delicate even. They sing songs about snowflakes flitting through the air and landing gently on noses. It's easy to get caught up in these false ideas, especially if you've never had to live and work in true winter conditions. The truth about snow is that it's as heavy as a brick and can make your life miserable when it wants to" -Tess HIl””
